Any parent who wishes their 1st year son to receive his vaccination in school tomorrow, Wed 7th February, must complete and send into school the Form given out some weeks ago. The HSE are finished here in school tomorrow. It will be far more awkward to receive vaccinations once they move to a clinic or GPs office. Thank you.

U16 Rugby Team Reach Shield Final

️St. Mary’s CBS U16 Rugby team are marching on to Donnybrook and the Shield Final after a very hard-fought win over St David of the Holy Faith Greystones on Thursday last in Portlaoise Rugby Club Tougher.

The game started very well for the CBS boys with some excellent early play seeing Eoghan Deegan crossing the whitewash in the corner to get the score board ticking over for the CBS lads. This was followed up by some brilliant flowing rugby which saw Daragh Lalor drive through to get his try and make the score 10 nil to the CBS. Greystones were not giving up and a well worked try saw them get over for their first score. CBS rallied again and it was Ciaran Dunne who would get his name on the score sheet after a well worked move. This was followed up by a conversion from Aaron Fitzpatrick. Greystones would come again and got their second try to make it 17 to 12 heading into the break.

After half time Greystones took things up a notch and some very well played rugby saw them move the ball out wide to score their third try and leave the game level at 17 all. From here on the CBS boys found themselves defending right until the death with Greystones throwing everything bar the kitchen sink at a very resilient CBS defence. A penalty awarded to Greystones to win the game would go wide into the arms of Joe Larkin who impressively put on the burners to beat several Greystones defenders before chipping the ball through, this was followed by a great tackle from Larkin resulting in a penalty to CBS. Up stood Eoghan Deegan and the Vicarstown man made no mistake with slotting the penalty over to give the CBS a 20- 17 win. ️
Huge performances by many players on the day. Men of the Match going to Larkin, Deegan and Danny Gavin who had a huge performance up to going off injured. 

Donnybrook now awaits on Thursday the 14th @12 for the Shield Final

Created : 16 Jan 2024, 12:48 PM
Archived : 03 Feb 2024, 12:00 AM

In 2021, the State Examinations Commission (SEC) as part of its digital strategy, introduced a facility to allow Leaving Certificate candidates to confirm their subject and level entry details online (including adding or withdrawing from subjects), replacing the previous system of using individual Leaving Certificate candidate (E7) entry forms.  The use of the online system, the Candidate Self Service Portal (CSSP) will continue for the 2024 Leaving Certificate.

The portal will open tomorrow Wednesday 17th of January 2024 for candidates to register and activate their account and confirm their subject entries and levels. It will remain open for this purpose until 5pm Friday 02 February 2024.

Can you please advise all candidates in your school that it is essential that they register through the Portal as this Portal will provide candidates with the opportunity to confirm their subject choice and levels, to also allow future access to their results and for the later stages of the process such as the appeals application process.

 The candidate portal can be accessed on www.examinations.ie  from 1pm on Wednesday 17th of January 2024

 There is helpdesk support available at 1800-111135 or 1800-111136 between 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday until Tuesday 02 February 2024. Outside of these hours you can email candidateportal@examinations.ie 

 Yours sincerely
